Tiger Woods To Sport New Line Of Nike Golf Shoes For PGA
Published August 15, 2006

Writer, SportsBusiness Journal
Tiger Woods will wear a new line of Nike golf shoes this week as he tries to capture
his third PGA Championship. Woods will break out a white pair of SP-8 TW Tour
spikes when the first round begins Thursday at Medinah Country Club near Chicago.
He will also wear those on Saturday and will don a black version for the tournament’s
other two rounds. The shoe incorporates Nike’s new “Power Platform” technology,
a four-tiered system designed to improve balance, traction and weight transfer
through impact. The SP-8 TW Tour — as well as the SP-6 and SP-5 golf shoes
— will be available as part of the Nike Golf fall collection, with prices
ranging from $110 (for the women’s SP-5) to $220 (SP-8).
CLOTHES: Woods will wear his usual Sunday red during the final round of the PGA Championship. Nike Golf officials, in a well-planned fashion script completed more than a year ago, have Woods wearing an atom red drop needle polo shirt this week. A French blue dri-fit fine stripe polo is planned for the first round, followed by a dark melon brush statement polo on Friday. Woods will sport a sail-colored tattersal jacquard polo for Saturday’s third round. All of the shirts are available to the public as part of the Tiger Woods Fall/Winter Collection for $70-90 each.
